SA The Adelaide Thread

[MrsEddieBetts]

It rhymes with maul (as in a rugby maul).

SCAUL?!

 

[HBF]

Surely Coopers warrant a spot in the opening post.

The Angels, Cold Chisel, The Master's Apprentices, Paul Kelly, Hilltop Hoods, Sia (I went to primary school with the her boyfriend who was killed in England). We've produced some fine musos.

Was she dating an older bloke, or are you nowhere near as old as I think you are?

Peter Van the Party Man on Goodwood Road .

An institution.

I Love the city I was born in.


The SANFl was probably the best run sporting league this country has ever seen. It was swallowed up by big buismess, but it was close run thing.

Lol.

Whenever I think of Adelaide, I think of Chicken Salt

SCAUL?!

I've never heard it pronounced that way. I've only heard it as cool with an "S" in front of it.

Sia's nearly 40, I reckon Gough's in his mid-to-late 40s?

I still miss the old Adelaide Oval, it may have been a bit shabby, but it had charm that's lost in the new one. It had to happen, but there should be appreciation of what's been lost.

There was definitely a charm to sitting on the hill in the second innings of a One Dayer and being able to see the skyline lighting up as it got dark.

Both versions are good, but for different reasons. It definitely had more character before though.

That whole open area at the back of the new stands that overlooks the city is pretty cool. Anyone been to Coopers Stadium? Is it easy to get too from the Glenelg tram? It didn't look far.

Yep, the tram goes to the entertainment centre and it's just a few minutes walk from there.

Miss Adelaide so much these days born and breed in the Hills and everytime I go back there it feels awesome, hoping to move back there in the not to distant future

I grew up in the mid 70's to mid 80's going to international cricket there. Family were cricket nuts. Dad would get a belly full of southark and me and my brother would run a muk.

The new place is a concrete garbage dump

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Can't have an Adelaide thread without this:

Surely every Adelaidean born before the 21st century went here?

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Also, Adelaide is the birth place of AC/DC.

Well that's a mark against it.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

We have fritz, pie floaters & Farmers Union Iced Coffee.

On a childhood holiday my dad got one of those. The people around us made a 'woah ho' type groan noise when they saw it.

 

[edgie]

Seriously good healthcare in Adelaide as well in my and my families and friends experience.

I'd like to see what you think of literally every other sporting stadium that can seat more than 20,000.

Foott park was ten times the stadium AO is.

That slide looks sick.

Looks like something I'd've liked to go on as a kid.

Southern suburbs boy from way back.
Wasn't any Flinders then so McLaren Vale hospital it was.


There's a spot on south rd at O'Halloran Hill where ( if you're heading south ) you can see the southern vales all the way to Silver Sands.


Usual s**t now though -

Birdman Rally
Milk Carton Regatta
Dazzleland
Lakeside Leisure Park ( never went )
Barnacle Phils at Footy Park

I spent my schoolies week at Tilt, and Timezone on Hindley St.
